CHAPTER 681: CHAPTER 680: IMPOTENT RAGE, INTIMIDATION TACTICS

"Ding—Malice Value from Chi Yuan detected, +200000."

In just one short month without a sighting, Chi Yuan’s strength had improved. It seemed that in no time, Chi Yuan would advance to F-level, which was anything but good news.

As for Chi Yuan, who appeared suddenly in the hospital, Qing Yuanyang seemed to have found a vent, and his extraordinary power instantly set a rule: Plague Believers were not allowed to survive within the area.

However, this blatantly unfair rule dissipated before it could even reach Chi Yuan.

"Yo yo yo."

With a mocking smile, Chi Yuan muttered, "Looks like some people are desperate, launching an attack on me, an ordinary person, without me doing a thing—could it be... you want to silence me?"

Such provocative words caused uproar within the treatment room at once.

The expressions of others who had already been treated varied, with several elderly ladies already by the Order Personnel’s side, grabbing and pulling at them.

"When you shackle your own strength, you become the weak," Chi Yuan cackled madly, watching Order Personnel being grabbed and pulled without daring to retaliate, "Is this what noble Spiritual Ability Users are like? Truly laughable!"

In Chi Yuan’s hand, a sphere of green energy appeared. He raised his hand and fired at an ordinary person with such speed that even Lu Zixun couldn’t react in time to stop it.

The ordinary person struck by the green energy was instantly corroded into a skeleton.

A silent death crept across the treatment room, and panic bubbled up.

The elderly ladies who had been tugging at the Order Personnel, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but scream.

They immediately gave up on pestering the Order Personnel, retreating a few steps as if they were some form of a demon incarnate.

"Shh..."

Chi Yuan put his index finger to his lips and whispered quietly, "Keep your mouths shut, all of you. Whoever dares to speak, I’ll kill."

"I’ll speak," Lu Zixun, who had summoned the Night Evil Sword, said calmly as he looked at Chi Yuan, "Aren’t you taking yourself a little too seriously?"

I-Level Spiritual Energy surged forth, reaching towards the skies, as Lu Zixun, holding the Night Evil Sword in his right hand, charged straight in.

"My, my, seems like someone is pretty unhappy with my actions, coming at me with a killer move right away," as Chi Yuan took a step back to create distance, he raised his hand, and a pitch-black shield appeared, blocking the slash of the Night Evil Sword.

With his right hand, he repelled the Night Evil Sword and then flashed into the crowd.

He picked up an ordinary person with one hand, the green energy covering the individual, as Chi Yuan raised his hand to adjust his hair: "But that’s as far as you go. I have a hostage in my hand now."

"You despicable coward!"

Qing Yuanyang, who had wanted to stop Chi Yuan, cursed out loud upon realizing he couldn’t keep up.

Hearing Qing Yuanyang’s words, Lu Zixun momentarily felt out of character. The guy was a villain, clearly not decent; why would he choose a method that limits himself to fight honorably?

"Right,"

In response to Qing Yuanyang’s condemnation, Chi Yuan, rather than being shamed, nodded with pride, "I am despicable, what are you going to do about it?"

As Qing Yuanyang burned with rage, still wanting to argue with Chi Yuan, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and said, "Stay calm."

At this time, what Qing Yuanyang should do was set a rule, not debate with Chi Yuan here about who was noble and who was despicable.

Having just used his extraordinary power to establish unjust rules, Qing Yuanyang was now in a state where he had the will but lacked the strength.

To lay down new rules again to protect these ordinary people, he would need to wait a while longer.

Lu Zixun, knowing that Qing Yuanyang wasn’t a fool, immediately understood everything upon seeing his inaction. He withdrew the Night Evil Sword, and his gaze fell on Chi Yuan, "State your demand."

"I like smart people, but I don’t like you."

Chi Yuan chuckled lightly, "So, my demand is, regarding the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease, you are not allowed to interfere. Any kind of help, in any sense, is out of the question."

"You make an oath with your extraordinary power, and then we can leave this hospital together."

With a flick of his hand in front of his nose, Chi Yuan showed a look of disgust, "I suppose you also detest the smell of this hospital, don’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun understood Chi Yuan’s intentions.

It seemed that his own appearance could potentially disrupt Limorex’s plans, or else Chi Yuan wouldn’t have shown up at this time.

"I was never interested in this matter to begin with; it’s just that Order offered a price too high to ignore."

Lu Zixun, having retracted his spiritual energy, nonchalantly took out his cell phone and said, "And besides...do you think the life of an ordinary person can be used as a bargaining chip in this matter?"

"Oh?"

Chi Yuan laughed amusedly, eyes narrowing, "Then what about all the ordinary people in this entire hospital? I think that should be enough, shouldn’t it?"

"These people are nothing to me; where did you get the illusion that I care so much about them?"

After sending a message to Ge Changming, Lu Zixun put away his phone, "So... if you don’t want me to intervene, you’d better show some sincerity."

As Chi Yuan glanced at Lu Zixun, he saw the indifference on his face, and a hint of doubt began to stir in his heart. Could it be that Lu Zixun truly didn’t care about the lives of these ordinary people?

Chi Yuan, who was subconsciously about to kill the ordinary person he held, heard Lu Zixun’s voice, "I seem to have found a way to solve the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease, do you want to hear it?"

"Hahaha, are you joking with me?"

Chi Yuan, covering his face with his hand as he laughed, mocked mercilessly, "Do you even know what the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease signifies?"

"I know, it’s about life and destruction, right?"

Lu Zixun chuckled lightly and cast a covert glance at Qing Yuanyang.

After noticing the slight shake of his head, Lu Zixun continued, "You want to turn human society into a breeding ground of sin that breaks the cycle of reincarnation, I think, your plans might not be implemented."

At this point, Lu Zixun looked at Chi Yuan with a meaningful smile.

It was as if he was saying, "I already know how to solve the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease, and it’s not too late to make a deal to keep me out of this."

Chi Yuan, who had been wearing a crazed smile just before, couldn’t find his laughter after hearing Lu Zixun’s words.

Because everything Lu Zixun said was accurate, but why did Lu Zixun know about their desire to break the cycle and summon the Lord of Sin?

Chi Yuan fell silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly after a long while, "What do you want?"

After searching his memory for something with enough prestige, Lu Zixun’s lips curved slightly upward, "A divine position."

"Impossible!"

Chi Yuan’s pupils shrank upon hearing those words, immediately rejecting the idea.

This reaction was within Lu Zixun’s expectations.

Looking past Chi Yuan, Lu Zixun saw his shadow and smiled, "Then your life it is."
